Nic Koller

Artist creates Cubist video portraits by collaging various moving image captures into a single fieldview:

Nic shot & assembled dozens of tests in 2014 & 2015, working to answer an important question … How do you capture movement as a collage? While conducting experiments that portrayed a skateboarder, a dancer & a friend snowshoeing, he arrived at a documentary style that was uniquely his own.

This exploration expanded his understanding of collage. It’s not just about seeing multiple angles & different moments in time at once; It’s also about fractured human relationships. Nic depicts common people (& places as representations of people) throughout his works & his collaborative approach to documentary allows the subjects to contribute conceptually to their own story.
